You sit in a mostly empty waiting area near the terminal for Shuttle 9. Departure time is at least 15 minutes away. The others around you have spent their time as one would in a spaceport, i.e. with their faces buried in some form of media. Unfortunately, you have no media of your own. You've spent your time thus far staring at the stars and being bored. Fortunately, something interesting is headed your way.

A balding man in a leather jacket runs up to you and thrusts a satchel into your arms.

"I'm supposed to give you this," he says and turns to leave. Before you can protest, he turns back and asks "Wait a minute. What's your name?"

That's definitely your stuff in there. But these other things you're not so sure about...

The satchel also contains:- a map- a PDA cartridge-slot adapter- a pair of Simulfax Augmented Reality goggles- a Simulfax Shuffleparser- still no tea

The map is an official NERV directory of Research Outpost 5, the destination of your next flight. Someone has written on it. The adapter is unfamiliar to you and you've never even heard of these Simulfax devices before.

1) Inspect the map2) Analyze the adapter3) Put on the goggles4) WTF is a shuffleparser?5) Report Strange Man and whatever this stuff is to security6) Ask the clown for some tea

You pick up and examine the Simulfax Shuffleparser. You know it's called this only because of the wooshy, titly, "we paid our marketing guys lots of money" letters on the front casing. It's superficially similar to your PDA. Both have a screen, a button marked POWER, and a slot for a 3-volt power cell. But whereas your PDA has a touch-screen interface, this thing does nothing when you poke it.

The screen currently reads:)} CHECK INVENTORYError: Device not connected

This gives you an idea. "Backdoor code: Get Ye Flask."

*Bing-Bing*)} GET YE FLASKChecking...

It leaves you hanging for a minute. Whatever this is, it's apparently voice activated.

*Beep-Boop*)} GET YE FLASKChecking... Done.You cannot get Ye Flask.

You suppress the urge to throw it at the clown.

1) Inspect the map2) Analyze the adapter3) Put on the goggles4) Use the Shuffleparser some more (please specify how)5) No, throw it at the clown! They're both asking for it!6) Disregard clown, acquire tea
